It shouldn't matter Ocean, I'd played and reviewed your game before the contest was even over.

Anyway I just finished playing game number 20 out of 29 (including Resi).

Somehow that isn't brining me the joy I hoped for. 9 to go...


ANGRY EDIT: If you're not on the list... then that means there are 30 games!?

10 to go...

Question for the judges: can I update my game now or should I wait until the contest results are in? I'm not going to do anything major, but I had the world's most obvious epiphany to add another save point, and I thought I might fix a couple of minor things while I'm at it.

If the other judges are fine with it then so am I. Or if a higher up would like to weigh in and decide then please do.

I'm having a rough time getting pasted the 4th level of my own game O.o

...not a remarkably good sign I'd say.

My plan is to add a second download and leave the contest version available to download for the judges.

Same. I really hope when they judge they look at my non two day version too ; ;

My game's been crossed off the list as well, despite the fact I submitted it a few days early and posted it a few times here (page here: http://rpgmaker.net/games/5629/ )

31 entries... I should probably disqualify Resident Evil so we can have a lovely round 30.

This is the first contest I've ever joined for this sort of thing, I think I learned a lot about time management. I would have never tried to make a horror game as I get scared extremely easily. Haha.

Don't worry another game broke the rules unless I find out otherwise, so you can stay and we can have 30 entries exactly.

Good news everyone, I have finished playing all 30 games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll finish video editing and the reviews over the next few days.

Now I have a couple of lists for you, first is the list of games that kill you on touch...
Show
Rust and Blood
Girl's Graveyard
The Final Sin
The God of Crawling Eyes
I MU
Nocnitsa's Sideshow: Horrific Oddities
When the Bell Tolls
Grandma's House
Kin
Ground
and maybe Dark Mirror but I never got caught.


That's either one third of the games or just over.

Next some fun things:
Shortest Game: Hordes of Undeath
Longest Game: Teenage Costume Squard (triple the next longest game's length)
Funniest Game: Halloween Bash
Most memorable: The God of Crawling Eyes
Game made with the least effort: Resident Evil

Anyway while I hope you're all going to play all the games. Here are my top picks in no particular order:
I MU
Death Wish
Lunacity
Zephyr Skies
Halloween Bash
Subject
Zombies Halloween Edition
The God of Crawling Eyes
Teenage Costume Squad (be warned it's long)
Rust and Blood

Have fun guys, I know I did.

I don't know what's happening with voters choice because I don't have a vote option (is that because I'm a judge?).

Great job, Fomar! So I guess my idea of actually playing them all, doesn't seem far-fatched, although the giving thorough feedback part will be the most time consuming part and work for me. Playing them will hopefully be fun.

Regarding the voters' choice poll, no, I don't see it either. I think the voting should kind of be similar to the Misaos, except only one category with all the entries should be available.

And Fomar, I don't judges should even be allowed to vote for the vc. You each already get 1/3 of the vote for the prizes and achievements. I wonder how Caz and SS are doing. Perhaps we can get a relatively quick resolution from the judges, this time (in say less than 1 month after the event is over).

SS is nearly done, Caz is on game number 2, but she didn't start judging early with the early entries.

The British are not to be trusted ... This has been confirmed by NSA covert monitoring ops. :D

The first thing we discussed how was how the top 3 has to be British.
